How to Actually Become Your Higher Self

The topic of today, embracing our higher selves, is one that I hold close.
As the new year begins, a lot of us shift our lifestyles with it. We often know there is more to life and that we can truly love it, but we don’t always know how to achieve that. This is where learning what our higher self comes in. Today we will talk about these main topics-

• What is your higher self?
• Finding your why
• Stop waiting, start doing
• It won’t always be easy

What is Your Higher Self?

Years ago I was at my lowest. I had no idea where to go next until I had one day been listening to a podcast from Kalyn Nicholson. She had been talking about a higher version of us, one that can guide us to find peace deep without ourselves. that’s when things shifted for me.

Each of us vibrates at a certain energy. when we’re in a bad mood, the frequency goes down. when you’re in a better place, it goes up. Think of the last time someone smiled at you and it made you feel better. That is part of the energy, it’s a frequency that they were sending towards us and a lot of the times it can make us feel better.

So what Kalyn explained, is that we all have this version of ourselves that vibrates on a higher frequency than we currently are. This version is the person we ultimately strive to be; the future you that you’re imagining in your biggest dreams- that’s your higher self.

But being our higher self isn’t necessarily a tangible thing, it’s about the energy within us, how we feel. Let’s say in your dream life you want to feel in control. You want to be able to be the happy person and the one who has loads of confidence and all that. You may want this through being a CEO of a company, creating your own business, starting a family, or something completely different. That itself isn’t going to instantly make you happier, it’s a tangible representation of a result of how you want to feel. The ultimate feeling that makes you want to go after your dreams more than anything is your higher self urging you to follow the energy. And that is a feeling you can and will achieve if you work towards and understand it.

Finding your Why

Now that we understand what our higher selves are, it feels even more real. but, how do you actually find your higher self?

Well, since our higher selves are built on the energy we have, that’s the first step- finding that energy. Becoming more conscious of your why is a form of mindfulness that can transform our lives. One of the best ways I learned to do this was by asking myself in the fact of a decision what would bring me closer to this energy I was looking for.

Say this ideal version of myself was put in my current situation suddenly. My higher self was a version of me always looking for growth and learning to be proud of who she is. So in this situation, what would she do? What decision would make her grow? What would be her why?

How would your highest self cope with this? and then do it; move forward with the knowledge that you’re doing this for yourself and your highest self.

Stop waiting, start doing

I truly believe that’s where the idea of the whole “fake it till you make it” comes into play. I never believed liked this phrase until I tried this and then realized that’s exactly what I was doing. There’s this version of me that lives for me and me only; a version of me I would love to be; a version of me I want to be so bad that it physically hurts.

So why wait to be that person? No. I decided I WAS going to be that person, one step at a time. So I did, I made that dream my reality one day at a time.

I became fascinated by the idea of growth. I have the idea of creating the life i’ve dreamed of, the idea of being happy again. So I started small. I made a goal to start a manifestation journal which I used every morning. Then I started making affirmations, I created a daily routine, I started healthier habits, I stopped apologizing for who I am, and I created a life I was in love with.

Today, I am still creating my higher self. It’s something I believe I will always be learning about, as there is always more room for growth in life. But to be honest, it has already transformed my life in ways I couldn’t have even imagined.

It Won’t Always Be Easy

There will always be options in life. One will be to keep living how you have, and the other is to grow. This option can be difficult, but it will leave you in a place where you can finally love life. So hey, it might be hard either way- why don’t you get that over with first and quicker? Do what your highest self would do. Own up to the fact that, god, life isn’t at all perfect, but that’s why we’re here… and in my opinion, that’s kinda incredible.

I’m rooting for you, I know you can do it : )
